  19. A Focus on Mathematics: Steps for the next level of success Build and fund a comprehensive action plan to solve our mathematics and Science problem Temporarily modify our Mathematics Graduation policy so that students aren’t punished for a system problem Recruit new math teachers and support existing staff more. Instruction is the key. Redefine Basic Education and fund it appropriately WERA Conference, 2006 K-12 Education: The Next Transformation

  20. The Mathematics Plan • Align standards, assessment and curriculum • Deliver effective, equitable interventions to get us out of crisis mode • Ensure quality teaching • Strengthen secondary mathematics • Strengthen accountability as resources are provided • Make parents our partners in math learning • Change societal attitudes about math WERA Conference, 2006 K-12 Education: The Next Transformation

  21. Governor’s and State Superintendent’s Graduation Policy Proposal Students who have not passed the high school WASL will be required to keep taking rigorous math classes until they graduate, or until they pass the test or an approved alternative. Taking the test or an approved alternative would be required annually. The option of allowing students to graduate without passing the math WASL would remain in place for three years – for the graduating classes of 2008, 2009 and 2010. WERA Conference, 2006 K-12 Education: The Next Transformation

  22. The Science Plan: Parallel with math + $ + No change in requirement WERA Conference, 2006 K-12 Education: The Next Transformation

  30. Teacher Support: A statewide strategic plan • Provide state review and recommendations to local districts on curriculum aligned to state standards. • Recognize the effectiveness of job-embedded classroom mentoring and coaching as a way to improve teacher effectiveness. • Improve the quality, relevance, and timeliness of traditionally delivered professional development. • Create a statewide, regionally delivered system run by skilled teachers for professional development, that produces: • Skilled and culturally competent educators and education leaders, • Mentors for new teachers, • Instructional coaches who provide job-embedded training for classroom teachers. • Recognize teachers’ knowledge and skills by providing salary increases for teachers who earn professional certification, National Board certification and/or a to-be-developed mentor or instructional coach certification.
